Wicked director Jon M Chu has said the second part of the film, which is due to be released next year, is “eight times more relevant” because of where we are “in society right now.”
The first part of the movie musical, which stars Cynthia Erivo and Ariana Grande as witches Elphaba and Glinda, arrived at cinemas this weekend and is being predicted to achieve one of the biggest box office openings of the year.
